It has been quite the season in the Premier League.
At the summit, a fight to secure UEFA Champions League football in the next campaign broke out, lasting right up until the final day.
For the second consecutive year, the three teams promoted last summer were relegated back down to the Championship.
Add to that the rise of Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest (among others) and the struggles of Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United, and there has been no shortage of talking points for fans and the media alike to chew on.
It is not only teams that have caught the eye, though.
Individual players have too, and it is them that this analysis will celebrate.
The scout report will select 11 players who have enjoyed stellar campaigns and assemble a Premier League Team of the Year (in a 4-3-3 format), using data to demonstrate why each player included deserves their place in it.
Álvaro Carreras is the latest player to be linked with Real Madrid.
The 22-year-old Spaniard currently plies his trade with SL Benfica.
However, he’s reportedly being lined up to join Xabi Alonso at the Bernabeu this summer.
The youngster came through the Manchester United Academy and played on loan at Preston North End and Granada before finding himself in Portugal.
Now, Real Madrid are set to pay just under £50m to buy out his release clause in the hope that he will fill the void left behind by the legendary Marcelo.
He looks to be joining Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dean Huijsen as defensive summer arrivals following the club’s highly disappointing trophyless season.
In this player analysis, we will examine Carreras’ style of play and consider why the world’s biggest clubs are vying for his signature.
We will also contemplate how he may suit Los Blancos and fit into Xabi Alonso tactics and structure.
